Forgestars or SF winnings?

Red__Zed · 04-16-2011, 09:25 PM

Trying to make a final decision on which rims to go with, either Forgestars or a mint used set of silver Volk SF winnings. Just curious as to everyone's thoughts.

Forgestars:

Winnings:

Props to Isamu for the chops.

avant garde's look pretty good on red and also in similar design pattern:

I like the forgestars. It's hard to tell from the pic, but are they a concave design? That would make it so much better looking.

They aren't very concave at all, which is part of what makes me hesitant.

If you can find ones that are similar in design, but concave those would look sick.

red_zed- definitely forgestars!

the winnings are fine but they're dated and look better on G35/G37 coupes imho.
also aren't they considerably heavier than the forgestars?

those avantgards are heavy sob!

the rear 19x11's weigh like a frikken 3pc wheel

the forgestars concave depends on the size. If you want a deep concave on the front and rear on a 19" rim for example you have to go at least 19x9.5 front and 19x11 rear. Otherwise its flat. Look at more pics of those f14s on dif angles, there is def decent concave.

There's some concave, but really not a whole lot.

I thought they didn't make their rims in half sizes?

A 9.5 has recently been released. Maybe im biased cause im awaiting my forgestars but just look at those 2 pics side by side, forgestars > those volks anyday! I love volks but the spoke design on the f14 is perfection on the 370.

Definitely the Forgestars. They compliment the 370 so well.
